Destination: Clean Air

T

he latest District publication, Destination: Clean Air, has just made its debut. According to air pollution control officer Mike Villegas, “This new piece presents the air quality world in Ventura County. It explains who we are, what we do, and why we do it. I would encourage everyone who cares about healthful air here to consider the information presented in this publication.” Written by APCD public information manager Barbara L. Page, Destination: Clean Air is the latest major APCD publication and the only published District overview since 2002. According to Page, “It’s been ten years since we wrote an annual report-type document about the District. The piece details the status of our air quality here and the active programs the APCD maintains to ensure clean air for all residents. And a special thanks to all District staff who helped with content and review.” The piece highlights Ventura County’s progress towards clean air; APCD organization; criteria pollutants and climate change; and special programs. It features photos of the sky throughout the County, including locations in Ojai, Ventura, Simi Valley, Santa Paula, Camarillo, and many others. Page feels the photos reinforce the beauty of the County and the importance of clean air for every resident. Excerpts from Destination: Clean Air: There are over 250 air agencies nationwide; thirty-five of them are in California. A 2011 report from the California Air Pollution Control Officers’ Association states, “California’s clean air strategies continue to serve as a model for the rest of the nation and throughout the world.” The Ventura County Air Pollution Control District covers an area of 1,800 square

miles, consisting of valleys, mountains and seashore, giving it six different micro-climates, more than any other county in the nation. It’s home to over 800,000 residents. And here, the APCD works to ensure healthful air for all residents . . . Currently, Ventura County is classified as a “serious” nonattainment area for the federal 8-hour ozone standard. Who does what The Air Pollution Control Board - - Ten-member board consisting of the Board of Supervisors and five elected officials from County cities. It establishes policy, approves new rules, and appoints the Air Pollution Control Officer, the Hearing Board, the Advisory Committee, and the Clean Air Fund Advisory Committee. The Air Pollution Control Officer - - Executive officer, charged with the authority to direct staff, make policy recommendations to the Board, implement Board decisions, and manage all APCD operations.

50 Simi Valley High School students. In January, he spoke to 107 Pacifica High School students. Price feels it’s essential for high school students to learn about climate change and what actions they can do now and into the future to help keep climate change in check. He is also continuing to do the presentation to community groups on request. To schedule a presentation, call Price at 645-1407.

on climate change We’ve heard of eco-tourism, but climate change tourism? Yes, it’s happening.

n the October 2011 edition of Smithsonian Magazine, Joseph Stomberg has written an article called “Cocktails in Greenland.” It discusses Greenland, the largest island in the world with the exception of Australia, and the hottest travel trend: climate change tourism. It seems summer tourists, 30,000 of them on cruise ships in 2010, have discovered the once remote island and have put it on their radar as a vacation spot. Such places as the isolated village of Uummannaq, and the capital and largest city, Nuuk, are now accessible due to climate change. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the temperature in Greenland and the Canadian Arctic was an average of 5 degrees F above normal in 2010. One result, according to Stomberg, has been more seasonal melting of the Greenland ice sheet. Therefore, places that were not accessible to the public have now opened up.

Greenland Coat-of-Arms worry about the effects on traditional ways of life, including hunting, fishing and dog sledding. The article ends with an interesting observation from Malik Milfeldt, of the Greenland Tourism and Business Council. “If people come to Greenland and see how much the glaciers have been retreating and realize it’s for real, and change the way they use energy, then maybe the net benefit will be for the globe, and for the climate.”

A few facts about Greenland  About the size of Mexico.  56,000 residents (fewer than the city of Camarillo).  80% of the land mass is covered by ice.  Protectorate of Denmark, but has an independent government.  Contains the world’s largest national park.  Greenlandic is the language spoken by about 50,000 residents. It’s of the Eskimo-Aleut language family.

The article is quick to point out that the local population has mixed feelings. The melting ice may expose land for oil drilling and mineral exploration. But it could also open up more possibilities for food production, something the locals would welcome. Some, says Stomberg,

from "vacuum producing devices or systems including hot wells and accumulators." VCAPCD Rule 74.8, Refinery Vacuum Producing Systems, Wastewater Separators And Process Turnarounds, also regulates vacuum-producing devices. Hot wells and accumulators are not specifically mentioned in Rule 74.8, although it is clear that they would be part of the "vacuum producing system at a petroleum refinery" specified in the rule.

Public Workshop Small Boilers and Large Water Heaters (Rules 74.11.1 and 74.15.1 - Revised) On January 31,

2012, at 10 a.m., the District will hold a public workshop to discuss proposed revisions Rule 74.11.1 (Large Water Heaters and Small Boilers) and Rule 74.15.1 (Boilers, Steam Generators and Process Heaters). Revisions to Rule 74.11.1 include lower NOx emission limits now in place in the South Coast AQMD and an annual tune-up requirement for most units between one and two million BTU/hr input capacity. The applicability threshold in Rule 74.15.1 will be raised from one million BTU/hr to two million BTU/hr and tuneups for low-use units will required annually. Both rules will require an initial installation tune-up and an annual NOx and CO screening analysis.

There is no longer a petroleum refinery in Ventura County. Also, Rule 67 has been superseded by Rule 74.8. Therefore, the District proposes to repeal Rule 67 because it is unnecessary and there are no sources to which it applies. For additional information, contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected]. Project XL (Rule 37 – Repeal): On April 10, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., the Air Pollution Control Board will hold a public hearing to consider the proposed repeal of Rule 37. The rule was adopted on September 14, 1999, to implement a "Final Project Agreement" for the EPA Project XL Program at Imation Camarillo.

The draft rules and draft staff report are available on the District's website. For additional information contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected]. Solvent Cleaning Requirements (Rules 74.13, 74.20, 74.24, and 74.24.1 - Revised) On February

23, 2012, the District will hold a public workshop on proposed revisions to the solvent cleaning requirements in Rules 74.13 (Aerospace), 74.20 (Adhesives), 74.24 (Marine Coatings), and 74.24.1.(Pleasure Craft Coatings and Commercial Boatyards). Staff is proposing to further reduce reactive organic compound (ROC) emissions from the solvent cleaning of coating or adhesive spray equipment and substrate surface preparation. This proposed rule action will implement an All Feasible Measures requirement pursuant to the California Clean Air Act (H&SC Section 40914). The purpose of this meeting is to receive public input on draft amendments to the rules. The proposed rule revisions and staff report are available on the District's website.

Imation Camarillo ceased operation in 2008. The District and Title V permits for the facility were rendered inactive in 2009. Therefore, the District proposes to repeal Rule 37 because the single source to which it applies, Imation Camarillo, no longer exists. For additional information, contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected].

Recent Board Actions 2012 Rule Development Calendar: On January 10, 2012, the Air Pollution Control Board adopted the 2012 Rule Development Calendar. Health and Safety Code §40923(a) requires the District to publish each January 1 a list of regulatory measures scheduled, or tentatively scheduled, for consideration during the following year. Except for limited exceptions, the District may only propose consideration of regulatory measures during a year if those measures appear on the published list. State law does not require that the rulemaking calendar include control measures to comply with federal requirements, to abate substantial endangerment to the public health, to implement Air Toxic Control Measures published by the ARB, or to implement contingency measures after an ARB determination of inadequate progress.

Please direct any comments, questions, or requests for additional information to Stan Cowen at 805/645-1408 or [email protected].

Air Pollution Control Board Vacuum Producing Devices (Rule 67 – Repeal): On April 10, 2012, at 11:00 a.m., the Air Pollution Control Board will hold a public hearing to consider the proposed repeal of Rule 67, which limits reactive organic compound (ROC) emissions 5

Complying fountain solutions and solvent cleaners are currently available from several suppliers. The exemption for inkjet printing operations did not change.

The 2012 rule development calendar is available in the District's website. For additional information contact Mike Villegas at 805/6451440 or [email protected].

The revised rule and staff report are available for download on the District's website. For additional information, contact Stan Cowen at 805/645-1408 or [email protected].

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (Rule 26.13 – New): On June 28, 2011, the Air Pollution Control Board adopted new Rule 26.13. Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) is a federal preconstruction permitting program for facilities located in areas that either comply with federal ambient air quality standards for particular pollutants or are unclassifiable for any criteria air pollutant. PSD applies to new major stationary sources and existing major stationary sources where a significant modification will occur. Prior to this rule action, the PSD permitting program in Ventura County was administered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region IX. At this time, no facility in the county requires a PSD permit.

EPA "Tailoring" Rule Revisions (Rules 2, 23, 33, 33.1, 35, 76 – Revised): On April 12, 2011, the Air Pollution Control Board adopted a series of rule revisions relating to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) efforts to "tailor" existing federal permitting rules for greenhouse gas emissions. Previously, the District issued permits for "criteria" air pollutants and hazardous air pollutants. Criteria pollutants include oxides of nitrogen, reactive organic compounds, particulate matter, oxides of sulfur, and carbon monoxide. EPA has recently taken steps to add greenhouse gases (GHGs) to the list of regulated pollutants. Because the thresholds of significance for GHGs are substantially higher that those for criteria and hazardous pollutants, EPA is proposing to "tailor" their regulations to include GHGs. With this rule action, the Board made the necessary revisions to District permitting rules to implement EPA's tailoring requirements.

The recent addition of greenhouse gases (GHG) to the list of regulated pollutants makes these pollutants subject to federal permitting. To prevent an influx of applications to EPA, EPA is encouraging local air districts to take responsibility for processing any PSD permit applications within their jurisdiction. The most straightforward way for an air district to take PSD responsibility is to adopt a rule that incorporates the federal requirements by reference. A model rule was developed cooperatively by EPA staff, ARB staff, and the California Air Pollution Control Officers Association Engineering Managers Committee.

The following rules were revised: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

New Rule 26.13 is based on this model rule. In addition, PSD Rule 26.10, which had required a source operator to obtain a PSD permit from EPA, was repealed. For additional information, contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected].

Rule 2, Definitions Rule 23, Exemptions from Permit Rule 33, Part 70 Permits, General Rule 33.1, Part 70 Permits, Definitions Rule 35, Elective Emission Limits Rule 76, Federally Enforceable Limits on Potential to Emit.

Revisions include GHG permitting thresholds, a two-step implementation process, and new definitions. Also, GHGs were added as regulated pollutants. Minor revisions unrelated to GHGs were also adopted.

Graphic Arts (Rule 74.19 - revised): On June 14, 2011, the Air Pollution Control Board adopted revisions Rule 74.19, further reducing reactive organic compound (ROC) emissions from graphic arts operations. This rule action implements an All Feasible Measures requirement pursuant to the California Clean Air Act (H&SC Section 40914).

The final rules and final staff report appear on the District's website. For additional information contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected].

The revised rule is based on existing graphic arts regulations currently in effect in the South Coast AQMD, San Joaquin Valley APCD, Bay Area AQMD, and the Sacramento Metropolitan AQMD, and includes new ROC content limits for fountain solutions at lithographic operations and cleaning solvents at all graphic operations. Previous vapor pressure requirements were replaced with more effective ROC content limits for solvent cleaners.

Permit Fees (Rule 42 – Revised): On April 12, 2011, the Air Pollution Control Board adopted revisions to Rule 42. The revisions include a 2.0 percent permit renewal fee rate increase, effective July 1, 2011. For permit holders paying the minimum fee, adoption of this proposal will result in a fee increase of no more than $10.00 per year. 6

District operations are funded by state and federal grants, automobile registration fees, and fees charged to sources of air pollution. The APCD receives no property tax revenue or general fund revenue. The fee increase is necessary to offset rising expenses. For additional information contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected].

September 15, 2010 Street Sweeping Equipment (Rule 55.2 – New): Rule 55.2 will apply to government agencies or contractors that own or operate street sweeping equipment. New requirements are included that mandate the use of PM-10 efficient street sweepers, and require that street sweepers be properly operated and maintained. For additional information, contact Stan Cowen at 805/6451408 or [email protected].  July 1, 2010

Compliance Dates January 1, 2012 Graphic Arts (Rule 74.19 – Revised): Revisions to the fountain solution ROC Content limits for lithographic operations will become effective on January 1, 2012, in Rule 74.19. In addition, the vapor pressure limits will be replaced on January 1, 2012, with new ROC content limits for all solvent cleaning graphic arts operations.

Natural Gas-Fired Water Heaters (Rule 74.11 – Revised): After July 1, 2010, new general use natural gas-fired water heaters with a capacity of less than 75,000 BTUs/hour are limited to 10 nanograms of NOx per joule (ng/j), or 15 ppmv. In addition, new natural gas mobile home water heaters are limited to 40 ng/j of NOx. Water heaters may not be sold, offered for sale, or installed in Ventura County unless they meet these limits. Manufacturers are required to submit compliance information. All limits apply to both residential and commercial applications. For additional information contact Don Price at 805/645-1407 or [email protected].

These amendments to Rule 74.19 were based on an All Feasible Measures requirement pursuant to the California Clean Air Act. For additional information, contact Stan Cowen at 805/6451408 or [email protected]. January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012 Architectural Coatings (Rule 74.2 – Revised): Revisions to the coating ROC content limits in Rule 74.2 became effective on January 1, 2011, except for the following coating categories, which become effective on January 1, 2012:    

January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010 Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coating Operations (Rule 74.18 – Revised): Revisions to the coating ROC content limits in Rule 74.18 became effective on January 1, 2009, except for the following coating categories, which became effective on January 1, 2010:

Registration of Agricultural Engines (Rule 250): The California Air Resources Board (ARB) has 7

finalized new regulations for diesel engines used in agricultural operations. In general, these regulations apply to nearly all diesel engines used to power irrigation pumps; however, they will not apply to diesel engines used to power farm equipment such as trucks and tractors. The new regulations have both administrative requirements and emission control requirements. An ARB fact sheet is available to provide additional information and details on these new requirements; go to http://www.arb.ca.gov/diesel/ag/agengine.htm. To implement the state agricultural diesel engine regulations, the District adopted Rule 250, "Registration of Agricultural Engines" on September 11, 2007. The rule establishes a diesel engine registration program with a deadline of March 1, 2008. The registration program is not a permitting program, but requires application forms and fees similar to a permitting program. The fees are significantly less than permitting fees and are specified in Rule 48. Both rules appear on the District’s website noted above. For questions on the registration program, please contact Kerby Zozula at 805/645-1421 or [email protected]. Grant money may be available from the District to replace older diesel engines with newer, compliant diesel engines, natural gas engines or electric motors. For information on District grant programs, please contact Chris Frank at 805/645-1409 or [email protected].

Each balance above represents one or more ERC Certificates. If there is a “Limitation” on a balance, no reactive organic compound or nitrogen oxide emission reduction credits in that balance may be used for emission offsets at a stationary source that has permitted emissions greater than 25 tons per year of that pollutant. (See Rule 26.4.D.3 for details). A more detailed report is available on the forms page (under Downloads-PermitsERC Report-Emission Reduction Credits) on the District website (www.vcapcd.org).
